Boyfriend getting off oxy?

I found out a few months ago my boyfriend of 7months was smoking oxy. He had done it in the past and has admitted to doing them off and on for the last 2yrs. He has since tapered the dose and is now on suboxen and seems to be doing great!! His restlessness is about gone and he can sually sleep through the whole night. He is no longer on edge about every little thing.

However i keep finding myself trying to catch himbecuse he lied about it for so long.. I wonder if he is now snorting it or taking it sme other way but I dont think he is. would the signs be the same? Should I begin to trust him little by little what should I watch for. His mom and I now have control of his money so it is harder for him to get them if he wanted to. He says he has never felt soo good and is glad he has our support. How concerned should I be of relapse and what to watch for.

Well if he has pimpoint eyes in a lit room or outside,thats a good sign but if you have control of his money it will make it harder for him to cop drugs and oxy-contin arent cheap.If he is nodding alot or seems tired all the time he may be using.Just go to CVS or another drug store and get the opiate test with the strips.If he gets mad and says im not gonna piss in that cup,its a good indicator he is possibly dirty

Ok so far so good i think. He is still on suboxone but down to half a low dose pill( dont remeber mg). No pinpoint or tired ness. But im sure gonna keep an eye out. Will suboxone show up on a drug test as anything opiate?

RemSupreme, I toally agree with your response to this question I wouldn't ask him to pee in a cup ( he's not on probation, well with her maybe) Missing money, time unaccounted, for nodding off, and lack of a sex drive are good indicaters that he is still using. I would give him the benefit of the doubt. I remember a guy who came on here and EVERYONE was coming down on him, me included I though about it for awhile and figured he made some very good points. I decided to make him a friend, and I glad I did! Fall Queen

I am sorry you are going through this. Dont let him tell you there is no need to take a test because he is clean, which that is a lie. He wants you to believe hes clean when hes not. Give him that test and tell him that he is going to take the test in front of you whether he likes it or not. I know how you feel, it is time for him to get his life straight and for you to be happy again and not be down everyday because of his doings.
